“How Sweet and Awful is the Place”
by Isaac Watts

Each of us cries, with thankful tongues,
“Lord, why was I a guest?”
“Why was I made to hear Thy voice,
And [...]

* John Mayer single (just before the video starts)
* The Broadway musical single performed on stage
* Pastor playing KISS and Sheryl Crow (and others) on [...]

Ryan is off enjoying his favorite Michigan hammock…delighting in sunshine, Cass Lake, pontoons, three future men who are living boyhood to the hilt, a wife who is enduring the dark and miserable side of pregnancy, and sundry family members. I’ll be back on August 13th for the final grind toward the new school year.
